Well done, Pete. Congrats on finishing!
I'm also calling mine done, pics are of the vehicle on it's base, with the figs and Magach. I may add to the dio in a bit, but the M113 is done.




I guess I need to create an account in the KitMaker Gallery?

Don't pull it from the gallery. it's shouldn't matter if its an unusual or standard M113.
so where is your M113 then Ian?

So speaking of the Gallery, apparently I'm the first one to attempt posting completed images, or I'm missing the proper category, as there doesn't seem to be a thread for it yet. Is it up to me to start it or is that a campaign leader thing?

Thanks, Pete. I figured it was operator error.
Well great. I'm on a work computer and can only upload from photobucket.

I found the photos on my computer, using a Mac, but I keep getting the message "the category you chose for this photo can't contain photos".
Help?

I understand the need for conformity. Without a concise set of rules to follow, we would probably all have to resort to common sense.
